Red pear & polenta cake

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

I’m FAN of the cakes with polenta, well, I’m a fan of the polenta in any way, but in a cake is really great, it gives a texture and a corn flavor that no other ingredient gives! I haven’t used it for baking for a long time, and when I made this cake, I remembered everything that I loved cooking with polenta.

This cake is gluten-free, very fluffy and moist thanks to the pears, which are my favorite fruits. And as soon as I saw these red pears in the market I thought “I have to make a cake with these beauties”. So here is one of the richest, healthiest and most beautiful cakes I made.

Do you dare to try the recipe? You will not regret! If the tests tell me, send me an email or comment in the blog post how it came out, if you liked it, or that you would change it, I would love to listen to the advice of those who try my recipes! And if you share a photo on your Instagram or stories tag me like @gaspic_healthyberry so I can see it and I’ll share you in my stories!

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 190°C

  2. In a large bowl mix all dry ingredients including sugar. Add the egg and the compote, mix well.

  3. Add the rest of the ingredients except the pear that is to decorate and go mixing until it is all integrated. Put the mixture in a mold of 18cm in diameter, decorate with slices of pear and bake for 18-20 minutes or until it is golden brown on top and cooked but still wet inside. When inserting a stick it should come out just wet

    This turned out really well! I substituted pears with apples and reduced the sugar quantity in the recipe as I prefer to sweeten with toppings if I find it necessary, but the result was more than delicious. Also, I added some pecan nuts for crunchiness and loved the flavour mix. Thank you for sharing this with us!
